Uncut cockpit view in Edge 540

Video Not Working? Fix It Now

Trying out another new cockpit angle for the GoPro (top right). Hopefully it highlights the controls better and helps with reviewing what went right/wrong in practice. I was a little (or more) sloppy on some of the maneuvers, especially rolling points and the downline coming out of the spin, but every flight in that plane is a great one! Side note: I learned a nice new trick for cutting out the onboard music in order to overlay music in post-production: noise gates. I like to keep the com audio in for videos, but it's also nice to have music playing through the system. Unfortunately, the GoPro captures unselectively through a headset jack. Most pilots set their com audio louder than their music—although some of us may have different priorities!—so just find what that level is and set the noise gate to cut anything below that level. A threshold of -2dB worked for me. Here are the detailed settings I used: http://i.imgur.com/BZ0a3fl.png
